Why Users Rot Instead of Looksmaxxing

[HTNcutecel]

According to maslows hierarchy of needs certain needs must be met before acting on self actualization, which in this community is looksmaxxing. It could be that rotters haven't met the prerequisites of love and belonging, or esteem to have the base drive to achieve their full potential.

I also believe the human inclination to seek the most comfort is a large motivating factor as looksmaxxing requires consistent efforts that our nature doesn't abide by on a primal level unless it's dependent on our survival. With the quality of life reaching such a unprecedented state in modern times the need for self improvement isn't there.

I liken it to the second law of thermodynamics, where net entropy will always increase (or stays stagnant) unless acted upon. Conversely our yearning for comfort will always increase or stay stagnant unless countered by action.

The pessimistic mindset of rotters and the reason they're so averse to self improvement is a result of a failure to meet the base needs before acting on the vision of your fullest potential.

This view is commonly shared by the forum under the name "abused dog syndrome." The unmet psychological needs of users at a young age lead them down this path.

Same, although in my time here I haven't found anything beyond the basics that provide any major value, what tips do you have.

It's bullshit.

 

[NoLongerHuman]

so what do you propose as solutions? if it's something like getting a girlfriend, I've noticed many people let go of themselves and continue to descend due to getting comfortable

 

[RealNinja]

Looksmaxxing is not self actualization. Most people are stuck on the “love and belonging” stage of the pyramid. The reason why many people (myself included) continue looksmaxxing is because of low self esteem and feelings of inadequacy in interpersonal relationships (friends, women)

It's bullshit.

is there anything specific that's not accurate
